Abstract:
... This study explored the relationship between four measures of canine paw preference to establish whether the distribution, direction or strength of motor bias was consistent between tasks. Thirty-two dogs had their paw preferences tested using the Kong ball, tape, lift paw and First-stepping tests. A smaller sample were re-tested 6 months later. The distribution of the dogs’ paw preferences was no ...

Abstract:
... We propose a new fitting method to estimate the set of second-order parameters for the class of homogeneous spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox point processes. With simulations, we show that the proposed minimum contrast procedure, based on the spatio-temporal pair correlation function, provides reliable estimates and we compare the results with the current available methods. Moreover, the proposed ...

Thus, the present study was carried out to analyze longitudinal data via multiple-trait Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) for the genetic improvement of Jatropha curcas. The experiment was set up as a randomi ...

... The NOT gate that flips a classical bit is ubiquitous in classical information processing. However its quantum analogue, the universal NOT (UNOT) gate that flips a quantum spin in any alignment into its antipodal counterpart is strictly forbidden. Here we explore the connection between this discrepancy and how UNOT gates affect classical and quantum correlations. We show that while a UNOT gate alw ...

Abstract:
... Identification of deceased with unclear identity is a common problem in forensic science, whereby radiologic comparison can be applied as method for identification. As this comparison is mostly made on a visual basis, it is highly dependent on the examiner and often lacks standardized procedures and statistical support. The aim of this study therefore was to develop a reproducible and examiner ind ...

... Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is a powerful single-molecule tool that is able to capture kinetic processes occurring at the nanosecond time scale. However, the upper limit of its time window is restricted by the dwell time of the molecule of interest in the confocal detection volume, which is usually around submilliseconds for a freely diffusing biomolecule. Here, we present a simple and e ...
